All my characters are assembled, and I have entered the blanket stitch phase - all blanket stitching, all the time. For anyone just catching up, the plan is here, and the original artwork I am modeling these after is here. You can click to make this picture bigger and see my stitching so far:
I am moving all the characters through one color at a time. By my count I have done black, white, flesh tone, light brown, dark brown, and light grey. I still need to do dark grey, green, red, orange, turquoise, and pink. 6 down, 6 to go.
Started - Trick or Treat
I have been chomping on the bit to start on this one for a while, and this weekend after a... minor mishap in Star Wars made me think that maybe I needed to take a break from applique, I dragged this out. It felt SO GOOD to just do some classic rotary cutting and piecing again, this is not a particularly ambitious project, so I managed to complete all but one of my blocks.
The fabric is "Trick or Treat" by Doodlebug designs for Riley Blake, and the pattern is another fly-by-the seat original by me. More on this later this week.
You can now read about this quilt here and here. I am making my way through the handstitching, slowly but surely.
One day, I will complete it!
No Progress:
Piecing
-Christmas Traditions
Repair/Troubleshooting
-Ready, Set, Snow
And, for proper linkage:
Same here... slowly but surly making it through some hand stitching. I am totally in love with your star wars quilt and can't wait to see it when it is done.

ReplyDeleteLOVE the Stars Wars quilt! And look at you working on Halloween stuff- I never think about making holiday stuff until its way too late.
ReplyDeleteI just love how each project is so different from the others. It is not just the garden that is eclectic but your whole range of quilting talent- paper piece, applique, precision piecing, free motion quilting- the talent list is unending!
